It had been a day since Sunset planted a bottle of rum in Luna's desk. The former unicorn was proud of herself and the seeds of doubt she had planted. However, five other students gathered outside the school before classes.

"I simply cannot believe Vice Principal Luna was drinking during work yesterday." began Rarity

"There does seem to be reasonable doubt." agreed Applejack.

"But, what can we do?" asked Fluttershy softly.

"Then we prove her innocence." answered Rainbow.

"Like an old fashion film noir!" gasped Rarity excited.

"I guess." replied Rainbow surprised.

Rarity became giddy with anticipation.

"Don't go harvesting your apples before they're ripe." warned Applejack.

"Huh?" asked Pinkie confused.

"We have to prove she's innocent." answered Fluttershy.

"Easier said than done." sighed Applejack.

"Have no fear!" declared Rarity.

Out of nowhere, Rarity had suddenly was wearing a trench coat.

"You look like you stepped out of a 40s detective film." noted Rainbow.

"Exactly." confirmed Rarity proudly.

"I don't understand how that will help." noted Fluttershy.

"Isn't it obvious?" asked Pinkie.

"Not really." answered Applejack flatly.

"Rarity is gonna investigate like a 40s detective!" declared Rarity.

"Pinkie is correct." confirmed Rarity.

"You ain't exactly Dick Tracey, but if you can find the scoundrel who framed Vice Principal Luna then more power to ya." said Applejack.

"Let's get going!" declared Rainbow.

"Follow me!" cried Rarity.

The girls eagerly set off and began to interrogate students. However, the process proved less exciting and more fruitful than they thought. Applejack was interrogating Sandalwood, Fluttershy was interrogating Apple Blossom, Rainbow was interrogating Baton Switch, Pinkie was interrogating Ringo and Rarity was interrogating Watermelody when the bell for first class rang. As of these proved fruitless so the bell made no difference. Once study hall period rolled around, the group got a possible tip from Rose Heart. They found the rocker clique sitting together and talking about music then they approached.

"Hello Cherry Crash, we need to talk." began Rarity.

"What about?" asked Cherry Crash.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" answered Rarity.

"Not really." replied Cherry Crash confused.

"The dame is playing dumb. I'm gonna need a new course of action." thought Rarity.

The fashionista rubbed her chin.

"I don't know if you've heard about what happened to Vice Principal Luna..." began Rarity.

"Oh yeah. Principal Celestia found booze in her desk." said Cherry Crash.

"We have doubt it was her's." revealed Applejack.

"She was a rocker in the day." noted Cherry Crush.

"Really?" asked Pinkie surprised.

"Oh yeah. We knew her as Nightmare Moon before she became our VP." answered Cherry Crush.

"Cherry, we got a little birdy telling us you where seen at the liquor store the other day." noted Rarity.

"What of it?" asked Cherry Crush.

"We think it was planted." answered Rarity coldly.

"Are you accusing me?!" asked Cherry Crush offended.

"Maybe we are and maybe we're not." answered Rarity.

Cherry Crush pulled out a flyer and headed it to the group.

"Our band is having a show Saturday. We went to the liquor store hoping he would allow us to hang the flyers outside." explained Cherry Crush.

"What did he say?" asked Pinkie interested.

"No." answered Cherry flatly.

"That's too bad." said Fluttershy.

"I saw Cloudy Kicks with a bottle in her bag." noted Vanhallan.

The five left and began searching for Cloudy Kicks. Knowing she was an athlete, they searched in the gymnasium hoping to find her practicing. However, she wasn't there. Rainbow began asking the other athletes she knew if they had seen Cloudy. Finally, they where led outside to the field. There was Cloudy Kick practicing her soccer skills. Rainbow couldn't help but admit she was good. Cloudy had just retrieved her ball after a goal when she saw the group approaching her.

"Think fast!" called Cloudy Kicks.

Cloudy Kicks kicked the ball right toward the group.

"Git it!" called Rainbow.

Rainbow deflected the ball off her chest and then dribbled it with her knees.

"Rainbow, we ain't here to show off." noted Applejack annoyed.

Rainbow sighed and kicked the ball back to Cloudy.

"What are you here for?" asked Cloudy.

"Don't act so innocent toots!" demanded Rarity.

"What are you talking about?" asked Cloudy confused.

"We think someone planted the rum bottle in Vice Principal Luna's office." answered Pinkie.

"And we where told you had a bottle." added Applejack.

"You think I did it?!" asked Cloudy offended.

"Oh just spill the beans dollface. We know it was you." replied Rarity.

"Um, unless you can prove it wasn't." noted Fluttershy meekly.

"I can." said Cloudy.

Cloudy led the group to her nearby duffel bag.

"Here's what I had." said Cloudy.

Cloudy pulled a small plastic bottle of blue liquid out of her bag.

"Well that sure ain't rum." noted Applejack.

"It's Gatorade." stated Rainbow.

"Glacial Freeze." clarified Cloudy, "The label pealed off."

"Sorry for accusing ya." said Applejack.

Cloudy thought for a moment.

"It's fine, but not that you mention it I overheard Cloudy Winds was saying he headed that direction." replied Cloudy. w

The group thanked Cloudy Kicks for the tip and left. They next began searching for Cloudy Winds. It was almost time for the next class so they knew time was limited. They where lead to the library by several students. They arrived and spotted Cloudy Winds at the computer. They saw a notebook open next to him.

"Hello Cloudy." began Rarity.

Cloudy stopped and looked at the group.

"Um, hello." said Cloudy Winds confused.

"What are you looking at?" asked Rarity, in a seductive tone.

"Oh for Pete's sake." muttered Applejack.

"He's probably looking up how to frame someone." accused Rainbow.

"I'm doing research for my history class." noted Cloudy Winds.

"We'll see." replied Rainbow.

Rainbow forcefully jumped in looking at the screen.

"Conquistadors." mused Rainbow.

Applejack pulled Rainbow back by her collar.

"The Spanish soldiers who conquered the Americas." noted Applejack.

"We're learning about them too." added Fluttershy.

"Now, you wouldn't lie to us." began Rarity seductively.

Rarity gently ran her right hand down the cheek of Cloudy Winds.

"I..." stammered Cloudy Winds.

Rarity sat in Cloudy Winds' lap.

"Would you?" asked Rarity innocently.

Cloudy Winds blushed wildly.

"No." answered Cloudy Winds nervously.

"Now, we believe someone framed Vice Principal Luna and we heard you where headed to her office." said Rarity.

Cloudy Winds shook his head.

"I didn't frame her." said Cloudy.

"Then who did?" asked Rarity firmly.

"I don't know. I was looking for Whiz Kid." answered Cloudy Winds.

The five went to find Whiz Kid, but they trip was cut short by the bell. They five had to go to their classes. Once school let out, they went off to find Whiz Kid. They found him and would question Whiz Kid. They six of them then raced off. Sunset Shimmer noticed them and that they where headed to Principal's office. She followed them. Once she arrived, Sunset noticed they had gathered Principal Luna and Vice Principal Luna.

"Um, is something going on?" asked Sunset confused.

"I don't know." answered Celestia.

"We have an eyewitness who can prove Vice Principal Luna was framed!" declared Rarity.

Sunset Shimmer's heart skipped a beat.

"That's a big accusation." noted Principal Celestia.

"Go ahead Whiz Kid." said Applejack.

"I was headed to see Principal Celestia on the day in question." began Whiz Kid.

"Why?" asked Sunset worried.

"Micro Chips and I noted several ways to improve the performance of the school computers." answered Whiz Kid.

"Nerd." coughed Rainbow.

Applejack elbowed Rainbow in the ribs.

"Why didn't you see me?" asked Principal Celestia unsure.

"I heard you and Vice Principal Luna talking so I didn't want to disturb you." answered Whiz Kid.

"That was very nice of you." said Fluttershy.

"I walked passed Vice Principal Luna's office and noticed a gloved hand on her desk." continued Whiz Kid.

"Shit." thought Sunset worried.

"I thought it was a janitor so I didn't think anything of it." continued Whiz Kid.

"We believe that was the person who framed you." said Rarity.

"Likely Gilda." muttered Applejack.

"Hey! Gilda wouldn't do anything like that!" declared Rainbow.

"Regardless, we believe this creates doubt." said Rarity.

"It could have been a janitor." noted Sunset.

"I would have had no reason to have a janitor in my office." noted Luna.

"I want to believe you are innocent." said Celestia.

"But, why don't you?" asked Luna.

Celestia didn't answer.

"Of course." answered Luna.

"What's going on between ya?" asked Applejack.

"Ask the center of the universe." huffed Luna.

"Luna felt like I overshadowed her and went through a rebellious period." answered Celestia.

"Is that why you became Nightmare Moon?" asked Pinkie.

"Yeah. It was a...metal band." answered Luna embarrassed.

"Not to mention your run-ins with the police." noted Celestia.

"I went down a bad path! I know!" declared Luna.

"Sister..." began Celestia surprised.

"I've tried to change my life around! Just give me another chance!" cried Luna.

Celestia clenched her fists.

"I'm sorry Luna." said Celestia softly.

"I never meant to hurt you. I feel shitty for all the hell I caused you." said Luna hurting.

"You don't know how much I missed having you around." said Celestia emotional.

"We used to do everything together." said Luna.

"Do you remember the time in high school when we took that weekend vacation to the country?" asked Celestia.

"Oh yes. Everything went so bad." answered Luna.

"It rained all the time." began Celestia.

"We both got eaten alive by mosquitoes." continued Luna.

"And bears ate all of our food!" cried the sisters in unison.

Celestia and Luna both laughed before hugging.

"I missed you so much!" cried Celestia.

"As did I sister!" cried Luna.

The two sisters hugged and cried for several minutes before breaking.

"I'm sorry for everything Luna. If you say that rum wasn't yours then I believe you." said Celestia.

"And I am sorry for all the things I did. I promise not to go back." said Luna.

"I want to thank you girls and Whiz Kid for fighting for Luna." said Celestia.

"And Sunset Shimmer, I am not angry. I full understand why you thought it was mine." added Luna.

The rest of the day flew by. News of Luna's innocence spread. Conventional wisdom was that Gilda was responsible, but she denied it and there was no way to tie her to it. Sunset laid low as nobody consider she was the true mastermind. Once classes ended, Sunset stormed off. She returned the abandoned factory and marched inside. Once she returned to her residences, Sunset slammed the door. Jennifer was quick to notice something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" asked Jennifer.

"A bunch of girls screwed my plans." answered Sunset angrily.

"Is this related to your boyfriend?" asked Jennifer.

"He's not my boyfriend and no." answered Sunset annoyed.

"Then what?" asked Jennifer.

Sunset thought what to say exactly.

"I got a gift for the new Vice Principal and these girls ruined my plan." explained Sunset bitterly.

"Sorry to hear that." replied Jennifer sympathetically.

"It's fine." said Sunset.

A/N: That is where we'll end things for now. I hope the resolution doesn't seem rushed, but the resolution to the pilot was rushed its self. Next time, Sunset returns to seducing Flash and something new comes into play. Please review.
